Meizu India has posted an image on Twitter teasing the launch of a “Pro” smartphone soon. While the smartphone in question has not been revealed, we believe that the company is planning to launch the Meizu Pro 7 in India.

The image posted by the company on the social media website reads, “it’s time for you to become a Pro! Stay Tuned! #BeAPro.”

The Meizu Pro 7 was originally launched in China in June earlier this year, along with Meizu Pro 7 Plus. It comes with an unique secondary AMOLED display at the back. It shows time, notifications, weather, and also serves as a selfie screen for taking portraits from the rear camera.

While the Meizu Pro 7 is the company’s flagship smartphone, the specifications of the device are not on par with other flagship smartphones. Thus, we expect the phone to be priced around Rs. 25,000 in India.

The smartphone features a 5.2-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. There is also a 1.9-inch Super AMOLED secondary display with screen resolution of 240 × 536 pixels and 307ppi pixel density.

Under the hood, the phone is powered by 2.5GHz MediaTek Helio P25 octa-core processor along with Mali-T880 GPU, 4GB RAM, and 64GB internal storage. The phone also has another variant, which is powered by 2.6GHz MediaTek Helio X30 deca-core 10nm processor with PowerVR 7XTP-MP4 GPU, 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

The smartphone features a dual camera setup at the back. It has two 12-megapixel sensors with one being monochrome lens and other being RGB lens, along with f/2.0 aperture, phase detection autofocus, and LED flash support. On the front, there’s a 16-megapixel camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture.

The home button on the phone also embeds a fingerprint scanner for added security and the device comes with USB Type-C port. Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE , WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS. The device is fueled by a 3,000mAh battery with support for mCharge fast charging.

The post Meizu Teases Smartphone Launch In India, Could Be Meizu Pro 7 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu is expected to officially unveil the Pro 7 on the evening of July 26 which is barely two days away so, it is just right that they keep the internet buzzing with fresh photos of the flagship. That is, perhaps, the intention of Jeffery Yang who shared a clean photo of the Pro 7 on Weibo today.

The photo is that of the Grey coloured variant which was first leaked last week but this time around it shows the back of the device but omitted the part containing the rear cameras. The major thing that we can grab from the photo is the presence of a brush metal body and a grey coloured variant. Also, the rear secondary display seems to be curved at the outer edge just like the rest of the body. The U-shaped antenna band design also looks like what is hidden at the bottom edge and we believe the upper edge will also look similar. It has a similar grey colour with the body, something that may be peculiar to this colour variant.

Apart from the grey variant, the Meizu Pro 7 is expected to come in Black, Gold and Red colour variants. As for the specs, the Pro 7 has been confirmed by MeidaTek to be the first smartphone to launch with MediaTek’s Deca-core Helio X30 chip. It is expeccted to feature a 5.2-inch 1080p display as well as dual 12MP Sony IMX386+ 12MP Sony IMX286 sensors at the rear with a ring flash having 10 LEDs. The camera will likely be one of the main selling points of the device based on the sample shots we have seen. But we can only make a decent judgement of the device after it has been launched and subjected to Linus’ critical review here on Gizmochina. Other specs are still not certain, that also we’ll know when it is launched.

The post Meizu Senior VP Reveals the Pro 7 & Its Second Screen appeared first on Gizmochina.

Once again, we get to see some more features of Meizu‘s upcoming Pro 7 flagship courtesy of a couple of leaked photo of a working unit. The Meizu Pro 7, as we already know, will feature two displays, a large 5.2-inch display at the front while there will be a 2-inch display at the rear. 

The idea of a smartphone packing two displays on both sides is innovative enough to generate some interest in the upcoming flagship. The secondary display was initially thought to be an e-ink display which would display missed calls/sms notifications, time/ date and a couple of other icons. But now, it looks like the Pro 7’s display has much more functions than those. The leaked photos show that the back screen will have Meizu’ Flyme interface with similar icons on the main display’s home screen.

The MeizuPro 7 is turning out to be more interesting than we thought. Apart from the dual screens, the Pro 7 will be the first Meizu smartphone to pack a dual camera setup at the rear. The photo also shows the main camera can be used to take selfie shots while it is being previewed on the secondary display. In essence, the rear screen looks like a miniaturised version of the front screen but sure, there can’t be exactly the same functionalities on both displays. The secondary display looks good for one handed control but that will only be comfortable with the left hand.

In addition to these features, MediaTek has already confirmed that the Pro 7 will be the first Helio X30-powered smartphone. As per the configuration, the Pro 7 will feature a 5.2-inch 1080p display and would have a 4GB + 64GB memory version and another with 6GB RAM + 128GB storage.   The Pro 7 is also expected to start at 2799 Yuan (~$410) and is expected to be launched at the end of this month.

The post Working Meizu Pro 7 Shows Flyme Interface, Selfie Shot on Rear Screen appeared first on Gizmochina.

Finally, the real photo of Meizu‘s “most-wanted” flagship Pro 7 that has been the subject of rumours since last year has appeared online showing us what could be the real deal from various angles. The design of the Pro 7 recently leaked showing an innovative concept, a secondary display located at the back of the smartphone, something we have never seen before. Don’t get it all wrong, we know secondary displays are not new, the likes of LG, Yotaphone have been using that all this while but the thing is that the location has always been at the front, hovering above the main display. In contrast, that of Meizu is located on the top left corner of the back casing.

Taking a closer look at the leaked photos, we can gather that the display will have a curved glass on top and unfortunately, there is still a sizeable amount of bezels around the display both at the top and bottom. The side bezels are quite thin but since they are there, the black borders around the display are still visible. We already know the device will have a front fingerprint sensor located on the mBack button. There seems to be a single opening for the selfie camera up front without any other opening. The working home screen carries a theme which looks like Android Nougat, of course with a touch of Meizu’s Flyme OS. 

The rear view offers a view of the secondary display in action and seems to be a miniature replica of the front home screen. As beautiful as the design may be, we are yet to see its spectacular importance apart from keeping you from opening up the main display all the time there is a notification beep. The rear display also houses the rear camera which is a dual setup as well as a LED flash in the same square. Also visible, is the U-shaped antenna band design wich fuses with the metal body.  

We still got to see the device captured from the side but the photo is not clear enough for us to make out the features located at the bottom edge and the side rockers present.  Obviously, the power button and the volume rockers will be by the side but at the bottom, we can’t tell if it is a USB Type-C port from the blurred photo.

This latest set of leaked photos is an indication that the Pro 7 may likely be launched soon. The Pro 7 is expected to pack a MediaTek Helio X30 chip and from the leaked renders, the flagship model will likely be available in Gold and Black colours. There may be more colour variants aside from these two, though.

The post Meizu Pro 7 Real Photo Leaks, You’ll Be Excited! appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just recently, the Meizu Pro 7 was revealed as launching on July 26 which is next month. There is another leak which reaffirms that the Pro 7 will indeed be launched in July. The leak also says the Pro 7 may likely go on sale on August 4 after the July 26 launch event.

Meizu Pro 7 is the company’s flagship for this year and the device is expected to come with a spectacular design which has already been exposed and a powerful specs lineup. The device will be launched alongside the Pro 7 Plus with a bigger display. The prices of both the Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus have now leaked and they are perhaps more than you’d expect. The Pro 7 will retail for 2799 Yuan (~$409) for the base model while the higher version will carry a price tag of 3299 Yuan (around $484).  On the other hand, the Meizu Pro 7 Plus will start at 3299 yuan (~$484) while the higher version will sell for 3799 yuan (~$555). The prices are ridiclously high such that these are too bad instead of too good to be true.

In addition, the latest rumored specs of the Pro 7 tips the device as packing a 5.5-inch display as against 5.2 inches on previous leakes. However, the new leak also tips the Pro 7 as coming with a MeidaTek Helio X30 chip. and a dual Sony IMX386 + IMX286 dual cameras among others. But we still don’t know if the product with a Exynos 8895 version but there are rumours it does. Other specs include a 16MP front camera, 3.5mm audio jack as well as a USB Type-C port. The device is also expected to come with Meizu’s trademark mBack home button and its fast charging technology. We won’t forget in a hurry the e-ink secondary display the Pro 7 is said to come with which would be located at the rear and would show notifcations as well as display time, date etc.

The post Meizu Pro 7 & Pro 7 Plus Specs & Prices Leaked, Launching Next Month appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu has been unusually low in the number of smartphones they have released so far this year when compared with smartphones released last year. Apart from the launch of the Meizu E2 with its spectacular LED flash design, we are yet to see a new model with flagship design. But all that will likely be changing soon as the tech giant will launch the long awaited Pro 7 soon. 

The Meizu Pro has been the subject of recent rumours and has been a long awaited device. The flagship model has now tipped as coming on July 26. The tip is an unofficial one that can’t really be authenticated so we can treat it as a rumour. But then, anything is possible when it comes to China’s OEMs and rumours/ leaks.

The leaked renders of the Pro 7 which have made the rounds over the week, all make the Pro 7 a smartphone to look forward to. The design looks like an innovative one with a secondary display stationed at the back of the device. The secondary display will show notifications like incoming messages, missed calls, WeChat messages, date and time. The display is said to be an E-ink display.

Apart from the secondary display, the Meizu Pro 7 is also expected to come with an innovative design which includes an ultra-thin frame and Meizu’s mBack. The device is also tipped as packing a MediaTek Helio X30 chip, a 5.2-inch 1080p display up front and a dual Sony IMX386 + IMX286 dual cameras among others. The Meizu Pro 7 Plus is also expected to debut along with the Pro 7 with a larger 5.7-inch 2K screen and likely equipped with a Samsung Exynos 8895 processor, or Helio X30 standard version of the processor.

Meizu Pro 7 is now enjoying the front seat in the media as more and more leaks of the device emerge. Meizu is known for its quality phones and the Pro 7 seems set to take the bar even higher if the leaks we are getting are anything to go by. Recently, a couple of leaked renders of the Pro 7  surfaced, suggesting that the device will not only have a front display but will also feature a secondary display.

Another real live image of the Pro 7 which shows the design has appeared in a new leak. The leaked photo shows the rear cover of the device where the secondary display will sit. The rear casing is captured in two images showing the external and internal view of the device. The secondary display will be at the left corner and its function may be to display time and date, reminders, WeChat message notification and others. The display may likely be made from e-ink which would make it less energy consuming.

Despite the innovative design, we are still at a loss as to why a smartphone will come packing a rear display but then, there may be more to it than we know presently. Apart from the secondary display, the Meizu Pro 7 is also expected to come with an innovative design which includes an ultra-thin frame and Meizu’s mBack. The device is also tipped as packing a MediaTek Helio X30 chip, a 5.2-inch 1080p display up front and a dual Sony IMX386 + IMX286 dual camera etc.

The post Meizu Pro 7’s Secondary Display Shown in Latest Leaked Photo appeared first on Gizmochina.

More evidence keeps coming out to confirm Meizu is indeed serious now about the flagship Pro 7 that has been on the front burner of leaks for the past year or so. Not too long ago, Meizu’s new senior VP sort of confirmed the existence of the Pro 7 with a new design and very recently, a couple of renders of the Meizu Pro 7 leaked showing it will have a secondary display at the rear. Turns out the renders may just be the real Pro 7 as a couple of leaked fuselage of the Pro 7 have appeared which look similar to the renders. 

The metal fuselage which appears in red and black colors are said to be those of the Pro 7. The Meizu logo is also written at the back. Of particular importance is the rear shell which shows that the design comes with provision for a secondary display which would be domiciled at the rear. There is also a wide opening at the top which is just wide enough for a dual camera setup and way to wide to house one camera. That is also an indication that the Pro 7 will likely come with a dual camera setup as already rumoured.

The Pro 7 may also have received 3C certification in China with two new Meizu models M792C and M792Q spotted to have received 3C certification. Speculation that these models may be the Pro 7 models were fuelled by the 24W fast charging capacity their chargers feature which was also featured by the flagship Pro 6 Plus’ charger.

The Meizu Pro 7 is expected to utilize MeidaTek’s latest Helio X30 flagship chip and a USB type-C interface among other new features but the 3.5mmm audio jack is still retained. The device is also expected with the U-shaped antenna band design which has been a regular on Meizu models lately. Earlier rumours tip the Pro 7 as launching on July 10 but we are not so sure about that.

The post Meizu Pro 7 Real Back Shell Leaks: Similar To Recent Renders appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Meizu Pro 7 is one smartphone that has been the subject of series of leaks and quite frankly, the model commands a lot of attraction from fans and others. Unfortunately, Meizu is yet to meet our expectations by releasing its flagship Pro 7. So, we still have to continue feasting on leaked renders and rumors instead of the real deal.

Here one of such renders of the Meizu Pro 7 which we can’t say is the real device but certainly looks good to behold. The design sure looks like that of the Pro 6S and Pro 6 Plus but the device comes with an unusually large display which almost covers the entire screen. There are just some bezels at the top which houses the front camera and earpiece and bottom of the display but the sides are completely bezel-less. The device may likely use onscreen buttons given the lack of a physical home button up front.

Except we don’t expect the Pro 7 to launch this year, if not this renders are likely not going to be the design of the Pro 7. This is likely so because Meizu VP had hinted that the company isn’t planning to release a full-screen bezel-less phone this year. So, this is very likely a fan-made concept render of the Pro 7 which might just be for your delight and nothing more. But we’re not sure Meizu will run through the year without releasing a flagship model. What that model would look like we can’t tell just yet but the likely specs have been the subject of recent rumours.

An earlier leak had tipped the Meizu Pro 7 to come with a 5.7-inch 4K display (resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels) with support for AOD display screen technology. The flagship is also said to feature an Helio X30 chipset and would also come packing a rear camera with 12MP Sony IMX362 CMOS sensor among several other features. We are not entirely sure, though, that we’ll finally get to see the long-awaited Pro 7 this month. It could turn out to be another model.

The post This is What the Meizu Pro 7 Could Look like, Inspired By The Galaxy S8 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year, Meizu released a series of smartphones with not so spectacular specs lineup but all that changed when the Meizu Pro 6 Plus was released. It seems Meizu is intent on taking the bar a tad higher this year as the Meizu Pro 7 specifications have leaked so early in the year.

The Meizu Pro 7 isn’t a new entrant to the rumor mills, the device was earlier rumored as coming last year but wasn’t launched eventually. It should be noted that the Pro7 was among the devices listed in the leaked Meizu product schedule for 2017. And if that schedule is to be taken seriously, the Pro 7 should debut in June this year with a MediaTek Helio X30 chip onboard.

The leaked specification appeared in form of a Powerpoint document with images purported to be those of the device. The image, however, resembles those of the Pro 6 Plus, so we doubt if they are really for the purported Pro 7 or if the Pro 7 even exists.

Be that as it may, the leak specifies that the Meizu Pro 7 would feature a titanium body as well as a 5.7-inch 4K display (resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels) with support for AOD display screen technology. The flagship is also rumored as packing a rear camera with 12MP Sony IMX362 CMOS sensor. The camera is said to retain the ring flash featured on the Pro 6 and Pro 6 Plus.

On the SoC, the Pro 7 is rumored as coming with an Helio X30 chip with more than two storage versions. The base version is expected with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and it is expected with a 3299 yuan price tag. The second version expected to feature 6GB RAM + 128GB storage has a rumored price of 3,599  yuan. Yet, there is a third with 8GB RAM + 128GB storage rumored to be priced at 3799 Yuan. We’ll need to take these leaked specifications and photos with a pinch of salt because they are too outrageously good to be true.

Meizu X came out of the blues recently and we almost forgot a Pro 7 flagship is being expected from Meizu. Now, new images of the Meizu Pro 7 have popped up online reminding us of the device and revealing the possibility of the device launching alongside the Meizu X on November 30.

The Meizu Pro 7 is said to feature a curved display and that is likely to be on one version of the device because earlier rumor also hint at the existence of a flat screen version. We had earlier seen renders of the curved display but these renders also show the device from the back view. The Meizu Pro 7 features a unique ring flash at the rear, circling round the 12MP rear camera.

The Pro 7 is also rumored as coming in two versions with one sporting a 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM as well as a high-end versiom with 6GB RAM + 64GB of storage. There is a large 3,500mAh inside the device said to feature wireless charging.

The Meizu X is confirmed to launch on November 30 just as it is almost confirmed to pack a Helio P20 chip as well as run on Flyme 6.0 OS. Perhaps Meizu will confirm via another teaser, the launch of the Pro 7 or the X may even just be the Pro 7. We can’t be so sure about that, so we’ll wait till then.

The post New Images of Meizu Pro 7 Leak, Likely Launching Alongside Meizu X. appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just recently, renders of a bezel-less phone said to be in the making by Meizu were leaked. We then got wind of the rumor that the bezel-less phone might be the Meizu Pro 7 which had been making the rounds in the news for a while now.

The latest rumor on this is that the expected Meizu Pro 7 might use an Hisilicon Kirin 960 chip, Huawei’s latest. The Kirin 960 has only been used on the Huawei Mate 9, Mate 9 Porsche Design and Mate 9 Pro, all part of the Mate 9 series.

Now the Meizu Pro 7 is expected as Meizu’s next generation flagship and it wouldn’t be a bad idea if the device is powered by the Kirin 960. Meizu doesn’t use Qualcomm chips nor Samsung’s on its devices but rather had consistently stuck with MediaTek chipset. A shift to Kirin would infuse a breath of freshness into the flagship device.

Huawei did reveal that it is ready to sell the Kirin 960 chips to other phone manufacturers. However, it is unlikely that such a scenario would be possible presently. According to the vice-President of Huawei phones, Huawei is very busy at present selling its latest products that there might not be time to do other work aside selling.

The post Meizu Pro 7 Flagship Rumored to Feature Huawei’s Kirin 960 Chip appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu has released quite a number of smartphones this year but looks like it’s not done yet. The company is still expected to release a Pro 7 flagship, which aside some great specs, would boast of a different and unique design. There are rumors that the major changes on the Pro 7’s design would be in the back.

A recent Weibo post by a purported Meizu staff talked about testing the expected Meizu flagship. The staff also revealed that the back of the device will be without very prominent external antenna band. A recent leak also suggests OPPO is also adopting a similar design without antenna band.

The Meizu Pro 7 is also expected to come equipped with a Samsung Exynos 8890 chipset, wit 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. In addition, the device is rumored to come with a 2K screen and on the camera end, there’ll be a 12MP rear camera and 5MP sensor up front.

If rumors making the rounds are anything to go by, then we are likely to see the Meizu Pro 7 on September 13 for Meizu is rumored to launch the device that day.

The post Leak confirms Meizu Pro 7, New Design Without Visible Antenna Bands Likely appeared first on Gizmochina.

The expected Meizu Pro 7 flagship has previously been leaked as coming equipped with Samsung Exynos 8890 chipset but latest rumors hint at two versions of the device popping.

The latest rumor is that the new Meizu flagship will have two versions in terms of display type. While one of the versions will come with a curved display screen, the other version will have a flat display screen. This set up is similar to those of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. The two versions said to have Samsung’s Super AMOLED display with 2K resolution.

Also, in other specs, the two versions of the Meizu Pro 7 flagship are said to differ in the memory configurations. One version is said to have 4GB RAM alongside 32GB of built-in storage space, while the other version has 6GB RAM with 64GB of onboard storage. All versions will have a battery capacity of 3500mAh with wireless charging option available and a 12MP main camera sensor at the rear.

The Meizu Pro 7 flagship is said to drop on September 13 but sources  have hinted also of a possible October outing for the smartphone, without giving a specific date in October. As for the price, the 4GB RAM version is rumored to have a price tag of 2799 Yuan($420), while the higher 6GB RAM version costs 3099 Yuan ($465) but the price has not been officially confirmed by Meizu so we wouldn’t know for sure.

The post Meizu Pro 7 likely to have two versions with Curved & Flat displays appeared first on Gizmochina.

We saw leaks of what looked like prototype images of the rumored Meizu Pro 7 flagship few days back on Meizu community. This same device has been leaked again on the Meizu community and this time, the images look quite real, in the hands of an operator.

The image renders shows the device sporting the curved display screen earlier rumored and even though the images look quite grainy, we were able to scoop a few details from them.

Apart from the curved display screen, the oval physical home button is also revealed, so also are the chamfered edges which alongside the curved display is likely to make the Pro 7 a good phone for one handed operations. The curved display on this leak doesn’t look over bloated but quite real.

The Meizu Pro 7 flagship had earlier on been spotted in AnTuTu with the model number Meizu_m96, listed as having a display resolution of 2560 x 1440pixels (likely 5.5-inches in size), powered by Exynos 8890 processor with Mali-T880 GPU. The processor is supported by a 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The device is also listed as having a 12MP rear facing camera with a 5MP sensor up front and boots Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box.

There are also rumors that the Pro 7 will be released by Meizu on September 13 and the price will likely hover around 3000 Yuan ($451).

The post Meizu Pro 7 with Curved display features in Fresh image leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu’s rumored Pro 7 flagship smartphone which was spotted on AnTuTu Benchmark few days back have appeared in image renders spotted online. The device which is said to feature Samsung’s Exynos 8890 chipset is displayed on the Interactive community section of Meizu’s forums.

One notable feature of the expected flagship revealed on the leaked images is that it would have a curved display screen that extends to the sides. There is an oval-shaped physical Home button as well, just under the display screen.

The Meizu Pro 7 renders also reveal a dual camera set up which is visible at the back of the flagship. There’s a large primary camera and just underneath is the supporting camera which perhaps should provide depth of field only. There is also the Meizu exclusive “Ring Flash” just under the second camera. Also visible at the back are antenna lines both at the top and bottom edges.

The name of the device is also clearly written at the rear as Pro 7, shown also to be designed by Meizu in China. According to the AnTuTu records, the device sports a 5.5-inch display which is rumored to have a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels.

In other aspects, the Meizu Pro 7 is said to run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow from the go, cram 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage space under its hood. The flagship phone also features a 12MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. The pixel size of the second camera at the back is unknown at this point in time.
